cream cheese is a dairy product, all dairy products including milk, cream, cheese, etc. should be refrigerated, otherwise it will grow bacteria quickly. therefore you must also refrigerate cream cheese frosting. cream cheese frosting also melts quickly in warm temperatures, so if its for a wedding make sure you keep it in a relatively cool area such as a air conditioned room.
Yes.
Additional information:
Most cakes will stay fresh longer with refrigeration, and cakes with whipped cream, custard or egg cream fillings or toppings must be refrigerated. It is not absolutely necessary to refrigerate a cake that will be used within two or three days. Iced / frosted cakes will stay fresh longer than un-frosted cakes. But all cakes should be well covered to prevent drying out.
No it doesn't. As a rule it's not a good idea to keep cakes in the fridge as they go stale quickly. Fresh cream cakes do, however, need to be refrigerated and if you live in a hot climate cakes with buttercream can go rancid very quickly if left in the heat.
If a cake is frosted and filled with commercial frosting it can be kept at room temperature, preferably under a cake keeper, for 3-4 days. Refrigerating a filled cake is a necessity when the filling includes dairy products such as whipping cream, pudding made with milk, cream cheese, and even non-dairy topping (Cool Whip). Dairy products will spoil, and Cool Whip will separate.
pound cake does not need to me refrigerated yet, some people prefer it. it's up to you!
Some cakes last longer when refrigerated, those with a fruit base filling for example will last longer when kept cool. Other cakes tend dry out faster when refrigerated.

A vanilla or buttercream icing would go nice, with some shaved chocolate and sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top.

cover it up so it is as airtight as possible. keep at about room temperatue. this should keep it good for a few days
a chocolate cake with chocolate icing and cover it in chocolate chips

Yes, unless it has a custard filling (which MUST be refrigerated) and it is protected from any dust, a buttercream frosted cake will only improve by being left out overnight.
